13 Brutally Honest Postcards From Around The Country

With an average high of 84 degrees in October, the Tampa Bay area has become a top destination for Canadian "snowbirds" who look to escape the cold winters up north. This climate is also VERY comfortable for those without homes. There are currently around 2000 homeless people in Tampa Bay (though if you think that's bad, you should know it doesn't even make the top 10 cities with the largest homeless populations). If you're going to be homeless, Tampa Bay is a good place to do that.

Denver, CO was the first U.S. city to legalize the recreational use of marijuana and college kids took notice. The state currently has the second highest pot usage percentage among college students. Between that and the lack of oxygen so high up, we're sure their brains are retaining a lot of that expensive education.

The driving force of New Orleans' economy is tourism. Around 10 million visitors come every year, many of them during Mardi Gras, hoping to swap plastic beads for a quick peek at something they could see for free online ... like even if they don't want to see them, they're going to see them. It is unavoidable.

Let's face it ... climbing very tall mountains takes a lot of energy. Maybe that's why so many of the locals reach for Montana's drug of choice -- crystal meth. Montanans have spoken and meth has won in a landslide (Ha! Kind of proud of myself for that one). Over 90 percent of drug offenses in Montana are meth related.

Miami is widely regarded as one of the country's most affluent cities. In reality, it's not all professional athletes and movie stars cruising in Bentleys around South Beach. The median household income for Miami is actually only 60 percent of the national average. Combine that with the relatively high property costs and you end up with a lot of tan, broke people in fancy white satin pants.

St. Louis, Missouri -- A great place to enjoy a baseball game, visit the Gateway Arch, and try your best not to get shot. In 2015, St. Louis had 1,817 violent crimes per 100,000 citizens. Which just goes to show that Cardinals' fans might legitimately be the world's best baseball fans. I mean, it does take some balls to travel through that horseshit, just to live-chant "Yadi! Yadi! Yadi!"

Jake lives in Georgia with his wife and three children (Jacob, Kaitlyn, and Lily). Jake enjoys spending time with his family, watching the Atlanta Falcons, and writing ridiculous and inappropriate songs that no one will ever hear. You can see more of Jake's ideas here.

Think Nana and Pop-Pop's loving 60-year monogamous relationship is quaint and old-fashioned? First off, sorry for that disturbing image, but we've got some news for you: the monogamous sexual relationship is actually brand new relative to how long humans have been around. Secondly, it's about to get worse from here: monkey sex.
